Fox – Kelly Murphy, Fine Art

Mama and Kit

Any artists out there ever gazed at a photograph and felt an irresistible urge to draw it? That was exactly my reaction when I saw this touching moment between Mama and Kit. It spoke to me on such a profound level that I just had to capture it in my own way. A huge shoutout…

Fox (finished)

I love the precise details I can create by using subtraction techniques on drafting film. A little bit of scraping and erasing can produce the most lifelike fur. I especially enjoyed using these techniques on his muzzle and in the coarse wavy fur of the scruff of his neck.

Fox (work in progress)

Here is my latest work in progress; I have decided to give drafting film another go. The thing I like most about drafting film is being able to use the “subtractive” technique, in which I scrape off or erase areas within the coloured pencil to create the finer details.
